“Ha ha! You're actually going to Thailand for vacation! Ha ha, I hope the next time I see you, you'll have grown up a bit, hmm, bye! I'm off to watch Dream Butterfly Sauce.” After receiving the ticket from Yang Xiaoyou, a carefree Mosaic laughed mischievously as he left.
“Get lost!” Yang Xiaoyou casually tossed the soda can in his hand, kicking it straight at the retreating Mosaic's head, which elicited a cry of dismay.
“Should we bring him back?” Lucas, who was beside them, asked with a hint of confusion.
“Let him be. It's just his nature,” Yang Xiaoyou said with a mix of amusement and exasperation as he stopped Lucas from taking action.
At that moment, they were at the airport in Z City. Huang Wei had come purely to collect his ticket but learned from Yang Xiaoyou that he planned to go to Thailand during the summer vacation, which explained his earlier behavior.
However, Yang Xiaoyou and Lucas were not at the airport to depart for Thailand and then head to Myanmar; they were there to pick someone up.
As a flight from the capital landed, Yang Xiaoyou spotted a silver figure struggling to drag a large suitcase at the exit.
“Hey, darling, you made it!” Seeing the princess wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, Yang Xiaoyou teased her lightly.
“Grrr!” Fia's reaction was immediate; she flared up at being called that by this fellow. A lion-like growl escaped her throat, as if she might throw her bag down and pounce on him at any moment.
Noticing Fia's reaction, Yang Xiaoyou casually glanced at Weimar behind her, who seemed to be sitting upright with an air of propriety. A glimmer of amusement flashed in his eyes.
He had initially intended to use Weimar to inform this ‘fiancée’—whatever their relationship was—of his identity. However, it seemed she had no intention of revealing hers for some unknown reason.
Fortunately, this wouldn’t have much impact. Given the current relationship between Hive Security Company and HLI, there were benefits to being out in the open as well as advantages to staying under the radar.
“Well, you can't call me ‘darling’ without fulfilling your duties,” Fia suddenly seemed to have thought of something after her initial outburst. Adjusting her sunglasses with a somewhat peculiar tone, she continued.
Yang Xiaoyou had been ready to raise his hand to stop her from going wild but suddenly felt that things were taking an unexpected turn.
Just as he was about to react, Fia boldly stepped forward and hooked her wrist around his arm, acting all too familiar.
Not long after she made that expression, a young Brunette Man hurriedly emerged from the exit, carrying several packages. He looked around and first spotted Fia, a slight smile appearing on his face. However, it quickly faded into a sullen expression.
Upon seeing this fellow, Yang Xiaoyou felt an urge to slap herself twice. Damn it, why did it have to be this?
Seriously, hadn’t Fia’s old man already made a decision? Why was there still someone who wouldn’t give up? Moreover, this fellow seemed somewhat familiar.
“Did you not keep this matter confidential from your company? I can’t believe you’re all in agreement. If even one link goes wrong, no matter how solid your Foundation is in the West, you won’t come out unscathed. As for us, we don’t care; we can just pull back from Asia,” Yang Xiaoyou said through gritted teeth, narrowing her eyes at the gloomy-faced fellow approaching them.
“Tch, you’re not the one in charge. Why worry so much? And do you really think I’m that bold? Am I supposed to tell that kind of fellow anything? That pestering bastard somehow found out about my flight and forced his way in. Hurry up and think of a way to get rid of him,” Fia replied, her frustration evident as she seemed equally exasperated with the pest.
“This is the far East; it’s not unusual for people to go missing here,” Yang Xiaoyou said directly upon hearing this, seeking her ally’s opinion.
Damn it, this was serious. This guy absolutely could not follow them; if word got out, they would have no choice but to retreat entirely to Asia. Once Hive Security Company lost its international perspective and mobility, it would no longer be irreplaceable for the Chinese Empire. Its standing domestically would plummet, which was absolutely unacceptable.
“Just find a way to get rid of him. If it comes down to it, do you think I wouldn’t let Weimar take action? His identity is somewhat special,” Fia said with a rather grim expression, leaving Yang Xiaoyou speechless.
The first time they met, this guy had dared to let Weimar take action against her while she was still under the guise of being her fiancé. Now she actually had concerns about that fellow; it truly made Yang Xiaoyou feel unbalanced. Yet that guy did look somewhat familiar.
“He is the only son of the current British Prime Minister. Although he’s about to step down soon, don’t provoke him during this time,” Fia muttered aside, instantly clarifying the situation for Yang Xiaoyou.
No wonder Fia’s father was so anxious to arrange a marriage; it seemed he was under significant pressure as well.
Was the British Prime Minister powerful?
The answer was undoubtedly yes!
Even though the aging British Empire was declining, it still could not hide its title and might as one of the strongest nations globally!
Under normal circumstances, if one discovered that the Prime Minister's son was pursuing their daughter, they might not fully endorse it but would at least allow it.
However, unfortunately, this was a soon-to-be former Prime Minister. At such a time, marking him as a ‘former’ Prime Minister would bring far more disadvantages than benefits for the company.
At this moment, it seemed that the current British Prime Minister, who also realized the severity of the Major Incident, was eager to quickly bind a few powerful factions with deep foundations.
It was possible that his son's actions were a hint and tacit approval.
This fellow was truly troublesome; in some ways, he was even more disgusting than the Hive Security Company. Yang Xiaoyou found himself at a loss for words.
Eliminating this guy would be almost effortless, but...
The incident took place in the Chinese Empire, and his companions were Fia. With both of his allies dragged into this mess, it would be incredibly unwise to let that soon-to-be former fellow take advantage of the situation during his last moments.
Once that guy stepped down, it would be easy to deal with him—whether to smooth things over or to confront him directly. But right now...
"Ah, look at the trouble you've caused. Let me think of a way... Wait a minute." Yang Xiaoyou had just scratched his head helplessly, searching for a way to handle the situation without getting caught, when suddenly a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
Hmm, the son of the soon-to-be former Prime Minister of Britain—this could definitely be put to good use. He could make good use of his remaining influence.
The next chapter should be coming soon; let me check it first.
The Only Evolver Chapter 538: Remaining Influence has been updated!
